Birthday
Quietdrive · Deliverance [2008]
I never knew
I never meant to say the words
"I love you"
But it's in my heart
And it feels new
Is it true for you?
Is it true for you?
Of course you'd like to claim
That we'd be friends
It couldn't stay that way
'Cause we pretend
That I heard about
Your new boyfriend
Where did I go wrong?
Where did I go wrong?
I'm sorry I forgot your birthday
I'm sorry 'cause I'm a shit face
I thought it was on a Wednesday
A Monday or a Tuesday
It's all the same to me
So what would make you happy?
Tell me, 'cause I'm sorry
These colors that we bind
Look all the same to me
I know that you've been hurt
But in the end
I'd like to say it's worth
All the things that we did
Now you found me out
My inside stand
What I have done wrong?
What I have done wrong?
I'm sorry I forgot your birthday
I'm sorry 'cause I'm a shit face
I thought it was on a Wednesday
A Monday or a Tuesday
It's all the same to me
So what would make you happy?
Tell me, 'cause I'm sorry
These colors that we bind
Look all the same to me
I couldn't take the things
Away from you
I made mistakes
But so have you
We could have it work
But we lost
When you know
You didn't have to
You didn't have to
Didn't have to
I'm sorry I forgot your birthday
I thought it was on a Wednesday
What did all your friends say?
They're all the same to me
So what would make you happy?
Tell me, 'cause I'm sorry
These days, they go by
Feel all the same to me
Feel all the same to me
Feel all the same to me
Feel all the same to me
Feel all the same to me
